Shaykh Muhammad bin ‘Umar bin Saalim Baazmool stated:
There is no problem if the
Imaam recites aloud in quiet prayers sometimes in order to teach the people. It
is established from the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) and
some of his Companions that they recited Soorah al-Faatihah aloud in prayers in
which it is recommended that the recitation be done quietly. The scholars
stated that they did that in order to teach the people what should be recited
in Salaah. Some of them used to recite adhkaar aloud in order to let people
know that such adhkaar should be said in Salaah. So if this is done sometimes,
there is no problem. And if a worshipper recites aloud in quiet prayer out of
forgetfulness, prostration of forgetfulness is not binding on him.
While commenting on the hadeeth
of Qataadah (may Allaah be pleased with him) who narrated: ‘Allah’s Messenger
(sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) used to lead us in prayer and he would recite in
the first two rak’ah of Zuhr and Asr prayers, Soorah al-Faatihah and two
(other) Soorah. And he would sometimes let us hear the aayah. He would
prolong the first rak’ah and would recite Soorah al-Faatihah (only) in the last
two rak’ah;”[1] As-San’aanee (may Allaah have mercy on him) stated
in Subulus-Salaam: ‘In it is a proof of the legality of reciting Soorah
al-Faatihah once in each of the four rak’ah prayer and reciting a Soorah along
with it in the first two rak’ah, and that this was his habit as indicated by the phrase: ‘He used to’ since it
is an expression which implies continuance in most cases. And the fact that he
made them to hear some verses sometimes is a proof that it is not obligatory to
recite quietly in quiet prayers and it does not necessitate prostration of
forgetfulness; and the phrase ‘sometimes’ as mentioned in the hadeeth, indicates
that such reoccurred from him.”
However, if the Imaam recites aloud in quiet prayer and
performs the prostration of forgetfulness, it is permissible and not obligatory
based on the general meaning of the saying of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi
wasallam) as reported by Thawbaan that he said: ‘There are two prostrations
after the tasleem (salutation) for each forgetfulness.”[2]
